162nd Anniversary Service in Grand Theatre Commemorating the 162nd anniver sary of the founding of the United States Marine Corps which falls on November 10, and Armistice Day on the lit, the U.S. Marine Brigade Band presented an interesting concert yesterday morning in the Grand Theatre. Easily one of the finest programmes offered, the selections included two Fantasias of Rollinson "Grand International" and "Grand Military." In the latter number, and Sousa's popular and stirring "Semper Fidelis" dedicated to the U.S, Marines, ihe Brigade Drum and Bugle Corps was featured. All the selections were both military and patriotic in character, a style of music in which the Marine Band excels. Completing what proved to be an all-Marine programme, the guest soloist in the concert was Pfc. Armand Bouchard, who sang two baritone solos with band accompaniment "Hymn to America" by Gulesian, and the delightful Irish Air "Danny Boy"—the composition being an arrangement by Weatherly, The rendition of "Semper Fidelis" and the Marines' Hymn along with the National Anthem included a tableau by the band, drum and trumpet corps, flanked with the American national Colours and the Fourth Regiment's colour:
In the church service which preceded the concert, Chaplain Stanton W. Salisbury of the U.S.S. Henderson was the pulpit guest, delivering a forceful message on the subject "What is Real?" A special musical feature was a tenor solo "Just for To-day" sung by Pfc. L. A. Holy with Mr. Cliff Flook as accompanist. Selections of the band in the worship included ihe prelude "Shades of Night" by Smith and Cezak's "Twilight" for the offertory. Announcement was made in the service that the church had contributed a sum to the Leper Bos pital in the city sufficient to maintain one patient for a year. Mr. C, C. Svengali, baritone, will be next Sunday's concert guest.
